Caroline Pultz

Caroline Pultz’s main theme : “how to bring nature into your home”. Interior designer, 28 years old, she was born in Liege, Belgium. Her first job in Brussels was designing a material based on mushroom mycelium from the cultivation of oyster mushrooms on coffee grounds and launching a production of Lumifungi. A job that was already a low-tech job! Then she went to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in the high-end design industry to study and understand what is “sexy”, desirable and accepted in our current societies.

She discovered the Low-tech Lab in 2018 thanks to the Nomade des Mers series on ARTE and contacted them to launch the Low-Tech Belgium. And in 2019, the crew of the Nomade des Mers, on a stopover in California, invited her on board to study bio-sourced materials. She then climbed aboard the catamaran to take care of the management and development of the on-board ecosystem, implementing in their daily life the low-tech discovered there and making them “user friendly”. A real ecosystem that they shared through video-tutos or events and conferences on board.

Caroline is passionate about multi-skill approaches, especially in rethinking our relationship with life through habitat. She hasn’t left the Low-tech Lab since !

Havana: Its low-tech internet, its urban cultures, its informal networks

In a world where the digital footprint seems to be increasing every day (it will have tripled in 15 years according to the French GreenIT), we were looking forward to this stopover to study what is called “the low-tech Internet”.
